I just stumbled upon this L-heavy subreddit:
r/transvoice
It's exactly what you would expect from a bunch of male autists who think that together they can find the cheat code that will
finally make them women, with the added bonus that... they are also really bad at it! Even worse than you would expect!
They seem to think that the key to a higher "female" voice is
raising the larynx:
Of course, anyone with the slightest knowledge of vocal technique can tell you that if you simply raise your larynx in your attempt to get a high pitch, the movement is going to reduce the resonance space in your throat which is going to give you a weak, tinny sound. I guess this explains why male trannies all sound like they are putting on a funny cartoon voice.
More importantly, raising your larynx to reach high pitches (as opposed to your CT muscles tilting the larynx forward and stretching the vocal folds that way) is also
really bad for you! As these men are constantly finding out!


Most of the comments are giving terrible advice like "it just means the muscles are sore because you haven't used them before!" or diagnosing them with unrelated vocal problems.
How is it possible to be collectively this bad at something they are all so obsessed with? Maybe because the community is so insular and distrustful of outsiders, it means terrible ideas stick around forever? (Apart from the basic terrible ideas like "it's a good idea to cut your dick off," I mean)
